About this map

Long Valley in central Idaho is mapped here during the late 1980s, showcasing a landscape defined by water management and natural resource extraction within the Boise National Forest. The presence of the Alpha Cemetery and Grange Hall suggests a tight-knit rural community structure persisting alongside newer developments like the nearby Trailer Park.

Surface water is highly controlled through a network of ditches and reservoirs, including Corral Creek Reservoir, East Mountain Reservoir, and Herrick Reservoir. The terrain rises sharply toward the Skunk Creek Summit, while evidence of industrial activity is found at the Strip Mine near Warner Pond. This survey provides a precise record of how irrigation, forestry, and community life intersected in Valley County before the turn of the millennium.
